Usage Tips:
- After you are connected, give the interpreter your
own name and the non-English speaker's name. The interpreter is only
allowed to give you their first name.
- Tell the interpreter if the non-English speaker is
already on the phone line, or if you will need to dial their number to
add them to a three-way conference call. The interpreters are not
allowed to place connecting calls for you.
- If the non-English speaker is with you but you are
not using a speakerphone, inform the interpreter that you will be
passing a phone back and forth between yourself and the other person.
- Speak clearly in short phrases, pausing to allow for the interpretation.
- Ask one question at a time.
- Use simple language to express your meaning. Remember that slang does not translate.
-
Explain any terms you believe may be unclear.
- Allow the interpreter to stop you and seek an
explanation when necessary and to repeat back to you any critical
information that requires clarification.
- Don't say anything that you do not want interpreted.
- If for any reason you get disconnected during a
call, please hang up and call again. You may or may not get connected
to the same interpreter.
- All language interpretation sessions are strictly confidential and are never recorded, transcribed or otherwise archived.
